Which is better gel nail it acrylic nails?

Friday, February 17th, 2012


Gel can harm your nerves. Google gel manicure warnings. About 456,000 results (0.17 seconds).
Google Manicures: EMA vs. MMA
The price may be higher than it seems. "Although the FDA first issued a warning about liquid MMA in the early 70’s due to reports of fingernail damage and deformity, as well as contact dermatitis, and many state governments have banned its use on nails, some salons continue to use it today."
My suggestion is to always go to reputable nail salons. Avoid any and all ‘discount’ salons – the ones that you pay about $20 for a full set. That type of salon are make up the vast majority of MMA users in the nail industry. You think that you’re getting a pretty good deal by going to these cheap salons, right? Think again, think very carefully before ever going back to one of these discount salons. They don’t give a darn about your nails, or your health. You get what you pay for in life.

Ten warning signs to watch out for:

* Your salon uses bottles in unmarked containers
* The technician cannot tell you what’s in the products
* The products smell unusually strong or have a strange odor
* Your skin is being abraded or cut
* The salon is not clean
* The instruments are not sterilized
* Licenses for the salon and individual operators are not visibly posted
* Your skin or nails hurt
* The gels do not soak off easily in solvents designed to remove acrylics
* You see swelling, redness or other signs of infection

My niece had migraines and couldn’t figure out what was happening to her. We thought her BF was sneaking drugs in her drinks! It happened right after her 1st mani.

Acrylic Nails VS Gel Nails (GET GEL!)

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

0 Acrylic Nails VS Gel Nails (GET GEL!)Hi everyone, here is a short (full of “ums”) video I made for people who wonder what the different between acrylic and gel nails are and what one’s to choose.

Regardless of Gel or Acrylic nails definitely make sure you are going to a salon with qualified nail technicians icon smile Acrylic Nails VS Gel Nails (GET GEL!)

Acrylic Pros;
Strong and sturdy
Look nice when they’re first done
Nail polish sticks to them really well

Cons;
They smell horrid
They grow out and look horrible without a refill
Some nail salons use acrylic which is actually illegal (in australia) and is prone to giving you fungus and other infections
Acrylic is damaging to the nail bed and when taken off you will have damaged nails underneath no matter how careful you are due to how they are put on to begin with (buffing, cuticles being cut etc)
They are known to yellow
They are usually at least 2cm thick and look ridiculous!!!!! (the worst con in my opinion)

Gel Pros;
Hardly and scent at all (mild soy sauce perhaps)
SUPER THIN!! can’t even notice they’re on there
REALLY REALLY SHINY!
Not damaging to the nail, if done properly no buffing of the nail is necessary, the ingredients in the gel is designed to strengthen your nails
My gel nails (bio sculpture) can only be done by technicians who have completed the bio sculpture course, they are the only ones with a license to purchase their products
You can wait longer between refills as the gel is applied thin and is less noticeable

Gel Cons;
Nothing.. yet icon smile Acrylic Nails VS Gel Nails (GET GEL!)

Stay tuned, please correct any incorrect info and, thanks for watching icon smile Acrylic Nails VS Gel Nails (GET GEL!)

Thankyou to the salon I went to, Nuleaf at West Lakes Shore in Adelaide South Australia, who in no-way asked/reimbursed me to do this video and will probably ask me to remove it when they see how awful it is icon razz Acrylic Nails VS Gel Nails (GET GEL!)

How do I swap my acrylic nails to gel?

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

I’ve been getting acrylics for about two months now from one of those Asian franchise shops. They look like crap. I see some women have beautiful nails, natural looking, can’t see fill lines… I think they are gel. I want to book an appointment with a nail tech to get the gels (not powder gel) but how would she change my acrylics to gels?

You should go back to the salon that you got your acrylic nails from, and tell them that you want them to change it, but before you do, to make sure that these more natural-looking nails really are gel, you need to make sure it is, or you might change them and it doesn’t look as good as you thought it would.
The salonist should basically take off your acrylic nails, by doing the process of putting them on backwards, and then put on your gel nails.

Good luck icon smile How do I swap my acrylic nails to gel?
